Senior Automation Engineer

About the Product:

The product is a security-aware platform built to help enterprises monitor, analyze, and optimize the digital experience across all employee devices and environments, whether on-prem, virtual, or cloud-based. It gives IT teams real-time visibility into system performance, application stability, and end-user experience, with the ability to automatically detect and remediate issues before they cause disruptions.

The product has seen strong traction globally, with significant year-over-year growth and increasing demand from large, distributed teams that need to secure and stabilize digital environments without adding complexity.

About the Role: 

You’ll be joining the R&D team behind the company’s most business-critical product line – where every feature shipped must be testable, resilient, and enterprise-grade from day one. This product is deeply integrated across large-scale enterprise environments and impacts real-time user experiences at scale.

Your mission? To become the automation backbone of the team- owning the design and evolution of testing architecture in a fast-moving, cloud-native ecosystem. From complex UI flows to backend integrations and multi-component workflows, you’ll be driving quality where it truly matters.

The infrastructure is modern but evolving. You won’t be maintaining someone else’s legacy- you’ll help build new automation frameworks, define quality strategy, and ensure testing isn’t a bottleneck, but a catalyst.

Key Responsibilities: 

• Designing and scaling automation frameworks that support complex E2E testing across distributed environments.
• Lead extension and maintenance of test automation frameworks that support functional and load testing across multi-component environments.
• Act as the quality lead in the team: own automation code, test strategies, and contribute to delivery planning and quality decisions.
• Collaborating with developers and product managers to build testable, fault-tolerant features.
• Leveraging tools like GitHub Copilot and CursorAI while maintaining strict engineering quality standards.
• Identifying quality risks early, designing mitigation strategies, and reducing flakiness and false positives.

Required Competence and Skills:

• 5+ years of hands-on experience in automating web applications.
• Practical experience with SaaS platforms
• Strong hands-on skills with TypeScript or Python.
• Deep experience with Playwright, Selenium, or Cypress.
• Proven track record in building or owning automation infrastructure.
• Strong REST API testing skills and experience with third-party integration testing.
• A proactive, self-managed approach-you own quality.
• Fluency in English and excellent communication in cross-functional teams.
• Experience using (and critically evaluating) AI tools for software engineering.
• A deep understanding of testing strategies, from unit to E2E, and how they fit into CI/CD.
   

Nice to have:

• Experience with cloud infrastructure.
• Familiarity with containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Experience with tools like Allure, Postman, or DB query automation.
• Building test automation for desktop agents or distributed apps.
